O knihe

Who will enjoy Perriwillow - A Narrowboat Tale? Who is the target audience?
This is so exciting! - Perriwillow has a purpose - to introduce people to the heritage and culture of the UK canals, whilst we are still fortunate enough to have them. Themes within the story take things very seriously indeed, from how to steer the boat and how to protect the canals to the fierce and loyal community which still exists today. The boats and people in the tale are, indeed, very real - you may already have met them!
It's easy to think that Perriwillow is written for children. It certainly can be read to children. But the Dwarf will appeal strongly to anyone who cares, dreams or already loves the UK canals and adults will appreciate the subtle, more mature themes running throughout the rhyme.
You will not be disappointed.................
................ When Perriwillow the Dwarf got lost on the riverbank in Dwarf City, little did he expect to find himself captured by a wicked witch.
Even less did he expect to be transported to another world and chased by Walter the Wizard, in an exciting adventure around the UK Canal system.
Magic and mystery, friendship and history, this is a charming tale of good against evil.
The backdrop of the old canal intertwined with real-life characters and workboats gives the story an imaginative edge, which will inspire readers to visit the inland waterways for themselves.
Appealing to all age groups, this is a full novel, written over 1600 verses of lilting rhyme. You will be taken from humour to sadness, fantasy to reality and into another world (or maybe two).
This book will see you laughing, but often from the edges of your seat.
